Women make up over half of Myanmar’s population, yet significant obstacles remain for women to be able to participate in political processes and to achieve equal representation in Myanmar’s state institutions. Before the military coup on 1 February 2021, Myanmar’s 2020 general elections saw an increased number of women elected as members in legislatures (16 per cent) in comparison to the 2015 elections (13 per cent).

The post-coup uprising of Myanmar’s people in a massive civil disobedience movement (CDM), in which women made up 60 % of protestors, and women garment workers, union leaders, civil society organisations and human rights defenders working on women’s rights have taken a leading role, has created unique opportunities for Myanmar’s legitimate democratic actors - the National Unity Government (NUG), the Committee Representing the Pyidaungsu Hluttaw (CRPH) and the National Union Consultative Council (NUCC) - to work towards gender equality in Myanmar’s future institutions.

International IDEA, together with our funding partners and civil society organizations (CSOs), have been convening an annual National Forum on Women in Politics (NFWP) in Fiji since 2018. In advance of Fiji’s 2022 General Elections, the 2021 NFWP focused on addressing the obstacles that women candidates face during elections and in politics more generally. After the Forum, some panellists and participants took part in a video expressing their “Hope for Women in the next General Elections in Fiji”.

The main theme of the Forum was: what obstacles do women politicians must overcome to be successful in elections? The Forum intended to address the need to attract more women into politics, to inform the public about issues related to women’s rights and to facilitate openings for women political advocates. The Forum featured speakers with diverse professional and personal experience and knowledge, who offered insights on the challenges facing women in politics in Fiji and around the region. It was built on Webinar #6 of the Democratic Development in Melanesia webinar series on the “Challenges faced by Women in the Path of Politics in Fiji”, which was held on 30 September 2021.
